Passed it again, huh. I keep losing track... wonder if it's a good thing.

....

Hey, so... does anybody have a particular day - or more than one, I guess - that means something to them? Not their birthday or a holiday or anything like that, I mean a regular, normal day where something important or significant happened to them. Could be good or bad, whatever.


[Zack's in a weird mood today, for... various reasons. He's also lounging in the hammock outside House 50, enjoying it while he can before the cold weather forces him to take it down, so if you happen to be in the area, feel free to bother him that way instead.]

Uhh...sure, I guess. I figured anybody could pick what they want to remember, but maybe it's not just that.

[wingenvy]

Not just that? What do you mean?

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

....ahhh, I dunno. Forget I said anything.

So hey! What're you all upset about, then?

[wingenvy]

Who said I was upset? I could be celebrating a special day.

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

Hey, you were the one "wondering if the bad outweighs the good," man. I'm just calling it how I see it.

[wingenvy]

Touche.

A few friends and I had a real lousy day in October. It's one of those things that's hard to forget.

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

I hear ya.

So October's just a bad time in general for you, huh?

[wingenvy]

You could say that, yeah. But hey, around here October's been pretty uneventful, so it's just a bad memory, right?

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

Well, make some good memories for October, so next year you can be like, "Oh yeah, last year I did this awesome thing!"

[wingenvy]

Hey, that's a pretty sweet idea! I'll have to think of something really awesome, though!

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

You should throw a party, or do some crazy thing you've never tried before. Like- hmm, jump off a waterfall! Or get really good at something you used to suck at.

[wingenvy]

[...Is there anything he sucked at? Hmmm...] Well, I hear there's a couple of people already planning some parties, so I should probably just go to those parties and have some fun! Jumping off a waterfall would be awesome if we had one, man... maybe I could climb the mountain! Man, if we had some snow I'd build a huge sculpture or something...

Hmm...this place is pretty short on extreme sports, huh? There's not even a stadium here.

[wingenvy]

It's pretty hard to justify a big stadium here when there's no teams, and with so many worlds, how would we ever agree on one sport to play? It's a tough call.

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

You're right.

...so everyone should just play blitzball so we can all agree.

[wingenvy]

Blitzball? What's that?

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

[A NON-BELIEVER. MUST CONVERT.] Only the best sport of all time.

[wingenvy]

Is that so? What's it like!?

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

Well, it's all underwater; you get five guys to a team, two teams in a sphere at once. You swim around and tackle each other and get as rough as you want, and whoever scores the most goals wins! It's really not that hard unless you feel like getting all techie about it.

[wingenvy]

[........Wat.] Underwater? But how do people breathe!? [Is that considered getting techie about it.]

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

...whaddya mean? You hold your breath.

[wingenvy]

Uh... but how long to those games go for?

God i hope this is right

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

Five minutes a half, plus whatever time-outs and standstill and overtime you have. Sometimes games can last up to an hour, but usually they're pretty quick.

[wingenvy]

[...What. But that's- no way. Holy shit, really.] You can hold your breath for that long!?

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

...um, a lot of people can. It's all the moving around that separates the professionals from just regular people.
